Here is a way to make the first gym battle (with Brock) a lot better than before if you haven't done it yet (I haven't tested the hack myself).
If you want to, you can make electric type moves do damage to ground type pokemon.

That's a very interesting tutorial, thanks. As many know, I've removed the Ground type from Pokemon like Geodude and Onix to make it more like the anime, but I also like this idea of changing how the Ground type is affected by electric attacks. However, I think there may have been times in the anime that electic attacks haven't worked.
According to bulbapedia:
Many times when Ash's Pikachu fights a Ground-type Pokémon, it uses an Electric-type move and it will cause damage.
Pikachu's electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect Ground-type Pokémon (such as Brock's Onix and Roxanne's Geodude) and having no effect at all (such as Lisa's Quagsire, Rocky's Quagsire and Maurice's Torterra). The anime's explanation for this is that ever since Pikachu received a power up, it has enough power to override the immunity. However, no matter how much power it has, it shouldn't be able to affect Ground-types.
So I'll think about changing the properties of the Ground-type to not very effective when hit by electric attacks.
